1 bunch of spinach

1 jalapeno – seeded & sliced thin

pint strawberries – cut into segments

nice robust parmesan cheese – shredded in microplane

candied almonds - chopped – really easy – take handful of almonds, place into saute pan, toast till fragrant, turn heat down low, add 2 handfulls of sugar, stir w/ wooden spoon for 1 min, take off heat continue to stir, let cool

dressing:

oilve oil – 2 T

honey – 2t – not too floral, but earthy flavor

balsamic – 3 T – i use a wonderful reduction that has a strong oak  & slightly fermented flavor

black pepper – 1/2 t – freshly cracked – as always

sea salt – to taste

blend, then toss w/ spinach, strawberries, jalapenos

top w/ cheese then for the best part

microplane chocolate
